“Loud popping and cracking noise coming from speakers even when the audio is powered off. I tried to update my sync system, but that didn't seem to resolve the problem. I have call the manufacture for help, but they were able to provide 0 assistance. This happens randomly, more in the evening or night time. While the car is both stationary and in motion.”

Had to use rope to tie passenger door to rear door behind driver to keep it shut so I could go to eye doctor, a three hour drive away. As temperature has risen, it seems to be latching to stay shut now, but I do not trust it.”
